Follow the path of lives I've owned My past is lined with bones Hollow homes and empty thrones Left behind me to remind me how I've grown Will I be all that I've ever been? The wind retells my story as it blows Memories are just as footprints in dust Time is only measured by the shadows

We all got a story … so I’ve been told Met an old street poet sat outside a dive I used to know He strummed his old guitar looked straight into my eyes He started to cry, I asked him, why I could see the regret, the pain, the words written on his face The sad chords of the song of the life that he had played I listened to his song as he told me this the story that was his I was born a young man missed my childhood, so it seemed Lived too many years behind the shadows I believed Damn I wasted memories on a pocketful of dreams That were lies Had no Kings or Aces not one face card to my name Walked around in circles no directions to the games Every roll of dice… another snake eyes… who’s to blame Guess that’s life… The House … The House wins again… The only thing they left me, was a pocket, a pocketful of lies Pocket full of lies didn’t see the devil’s sweet disguise Thought that I was living, but I been… wastin’ all my time Guess it took this lifetime, to appreciate the loss… gone… gone He told me… every word I whisper has taste of poet’s truth Lived too far in life’s charade… for me to lie to you Listen or you don’t... decide this on your own But for me The House… always wins Only thing they left me, was a pocket, a pocketful of lies Pocket full of lies he didn’t see the devil’s sweet disguise Thought he’d been living, he’s been… wastin’ all his time GUESS IT TOOK HIS LIFETIME TO APPRECIATE THE LOSS… GONE… GONE Only thing they left him, was a pocket, a pocketful of lies

I don’t know what you were thinkin’ But I didn’t only want you on the weekend There are parts of my love I don’t want you to touch But it don’t mean I don’t want you Just As Much Didn’t say what I was thinkin’ ‘Cuz it was fun I did the drug you did the drinkin’ But I felt something more, maybe more than a crush And I hope that you feel like that Just As Much I’m sure my late-night text didn’t leave a good impression But I’m for real ‘bout you baby, so here’s my confession…Do you… …Feel the same way too, can’t seem to get enough of you Wanna to be with you night and day, yeah and I’m thinkin’ that’s ok It might just be a fling, but I’m willing to do anything So I’m giving you a nudge, to see if you want me Just As Much Can you tell me what you’re thinkin’?, ‘Cuz I feel like this is more than sneaky linkin’ And I’m letting you know that I want you a bunch And I hope that you’re wanting me Just As Much More than anything I never want enough of our connection You’re all that I want, so I’m asking the question…Do you… …Feel the same way too, can’t seem to get enough of you Wanna to be with you night and day, yeah and I’m thinkin’ that’s ok It might just be a fling, but I’m willing to do anything So I’m giving you a nudge, to see if you want me Just As Much I don’t think so much into the future, love can be a tricky maneuver But I think about it as much as you Just as much, hey baby do you think you’re in love? You’re in love too? Do you… …Feel the same way too, can’t seem to get enough of you Wanna to be with you night and day, yeah and I’m thinkin’ that’s ok It might just be a fling, but I’m willing to do anything So I’m giving you a nudge, to see if you want me Just As Much

It's sooner than I’d like to see you go But before you leave, you need to know You’ve been a friend to me, and you’ve touched my soul Usually I’m fine with letting go But I’m going to miss you They’re going to miss you We’re going to miss, that's for sure Though the time was short, we’ve had fun Made fools of ourselves in front of everyone There is no-one else, your the only one Who's meant to become what you will become But I’m going to miss you They’re going to miss you We’re going to miss, that's for sure I’m going to miss you They’re going to miss you We’re going to miss, that's for sure We’re going to miss, that's for sure

Thought I would be okay once we parted ways Thought I’d get over getting over you You would be wandering in limbo Somewhere in space and time in the back of my mind God never sleeps but angels do Where temptations feed all my dreams In this magnificent obsession Somewhere between love and longing Lie the hours of gray doubt I came back for you My friends tell me not to stray far from this course My friends all say that I will get through these days Perfumed distraction is all I need now Love won’t let me forget it demands a sacrifice God never sleeps but angels do Where temptations feed all my dreams In this magnificent obsession Somewhere between love and longing Lie the hours of gray doubt I came back for you I go on dates and my friends say that I should move on It’s all in vain, cause your heart takes over me Alone I’m dancing until midnight With ghost of you - your face is all I can see God never sleeps but angels do Your wings must be burnt I smell fire I pray to get some love out of you I was too well used to desire Desperately in need to cope I came back for you

Have you heard about the girl that can play that thing? Well I could listen each and every day And she plays with the stars and the sun and the moon I believe everything they say She picks me up when I’m so down She knows and I didn’t have to say She picks up the fiddle I fly away... Such love, Jenee Jenee, she starts playin and will tell you everything there is to know Jenee, even little kids like to dance until their feet grow sore Well, I never thought it could be this good Now I believe it every time she plays Come on in unpack the violin Good to see you Jenee Now I can’t think of what was bringin me down Can’t think no matter how hard I try And I’d like to be dancin’ in her arms Just like every other guy Did anybody ever really move like that? I let out an audible sigh Well I like to hear her play every single way Sweeter than a pecan pie Jenee, she plays those strings and she sings like and angel in the sky Jenee she starts playin all you can say is “my my” Well I thought I’d seen every thing Thought I was a reasonable guy She starts playin and it takes me away… Jenee can take you flyin

I regret, the first time I choose not to kiss you goodbye You were running late, had to go, we didn’t try, just told a lie and made it so As the days passed, our fast embrace somehow became more or less, a race We kept upping the pace, and saying goodbyes in disguise, hiding our face Last chance Last breath The final dance The death of romance I regret, the first time I choose, not to tell you a lie It was getting late, and I didn’t care I didn’t try to tell you a why It wasn’t fair Why do you need a plan just to love me How can we pick one day of the week Should it take such an effort to touch me In passing, just a brush the cheek Are we fooling ourselves When it was easy, we never knew it When it was hard, we just couldn’t do it Throwing dishes with a, “I’m done, and screw it!” And that was easy, weren’t nothing to it Last chance Last breath The final dance The death of romance The death of romance

Cent jours se sont passés One hundred days have passed Depuis l'entrée en conflit Since the entry in conflict de deux identités of two identities Déchirant les douces nuits Tearing apart the sweet nights Assise entre deux feux Sitting between two fires Tu tends l'oreille d'un côté You turn your ear to one side Assise au beau milieu Sitting in the middle Tu lances les yeux vers l'autre But will you be able to dance Mais pourras-tu danser You cast your eyes to the other Au milieu du No Man's Land In the middle of No Man's Land Quand la nuit apaisée When the night has calmed down Balayera enfin les cendres? Will finally sweep away the ashes? Assise entre deux feux Sitting between two fires Tu tends l'oreille d'un côté You turn your ear to one side Assise au beau milieu Sitting in the middle Tu lances les yeux vers l'autre You cast your eyes to the other Assise entre deux feux Sitting between two fires Tu tends l'oreille d'un côté You turn your ear to one side Assise au beau milieu Sitting in the middle Tu lances les yeux vers l'autre You cast your eyes to the other

The world gets crazy, and no one knows and it takes too long, but I'll turn it around, I'll be there If the birds aren't flyin', and the cows don't moo and everything is upside down, well, I'll be there I'll be there when you wake, I'll be there when you're blue I'll be there when the sun goes down, yes, I'll be there I will keep fallin' for you, It's only fair Everyday, I will find you - you know I'll always care If your day moves slow, and it just won't flow If the sun doesn't shine and there's no rhyme, well I'll be there I've seen rivers flow, and I just don't know If they'll go down or flood the town, but I'll be there The world gets hazy, and well, you know it too and it takes all we can give it, honey, but I'll be there I will keep fallin' for you, It's only fair Everyday I will find you - you know I'll always care I'll be there I'll be there oh yea, I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there

Something I learned today Black and white is always gray Need to read between the lines Sometimes the truth is very hard to find Gotta keep an open mind Keep an open mind Something I learned today So many things I never learned in school Ashamed that America didn’t follow the golden rule History of genocide and race riot massacres Left out of history books pretend it never occurred Something I learned today Black and white is always gray Need to read between the lines Sometimes the truth is very hard to find Gotta keep an open mind Keep an open mind Something I learned today Information is weaponized to reflect the winner’s view Feeding propaganda to little kids in all the schools History is doomed to repeat itself God’s chosen country afraid to look at itself Something I learned today Black and white is always gray Need to read between the lines Sometimes the truth is very hard to find Gotta keep an open mind Keep an open mind Something I learned today Something I learned today Something I learned today Something I learned today

Campfire on the lake shore Roasting s’mores just right Sunsets over the bay Slow strolls in the moonlight Watching toddler’s first steps Mother’s kiss on a skinned knee Children’s squeals of joy Little ones living carefree Sometimes the smallest things Take up the most room in your heart Cherished moments that Give life its spark Joking with old pals Kidding and poking fun Teasing to show we care Telling tall tales we’ve spun Road trips both short and long Countrysides, historic towns Seashores, mountains too Taking in the sights and sounds Yeah, Sometimes the smallest things Take up the most room in your heart Cherished moments that Give life its spark Watching snow fall at night Bourbon’s warm glow on the rocks Sweet smell of a cracking fire Curled up sharing love talks Helping a stranger Before being asked Feels good to do it No matter the task Yeah, Sometimes the smallest things Take up the most room in your heart Cherished moments that Give life its spark
